We’re the Fayetteville Disease Ecology lab based at the Department of Biological Sciences, University of Arkansas. Nestled amongst the beautiful Boston Mountains in Fayetteville, we’re conducting infectious disease research with wildlife locally and throughout the world.
Our aim is to stop emerging infectious disease at the source: the wildlife-virus-human interface. We do this by researching viruses carried by bats and rodents, to understand and mitigate spillover of viruses into people and subsequent disease emergence. We're also interested in the impacts of anthropogenic environmental modifications, such as land-use changes and food provisioning, on wildlife disease processes and how these translate onto human disease risk.
Our research is highly multidisciplinary, including field, laboratory and statistical methods, and from virus hunting in remote locations, to within-host infection dynamics such as immunity and co-infections, and pathogen transmission at population and landscape scales. We work with an amazing network of collaborators from across the globe.
We hope you enjoy visiting our site!
